Thanks for suggestions about connector. They are suitable for enclosed assemblies. I meant connector that is easy to connect and disconnect on a bench - something like telephone J11 connector with very flexible cable. The oval cable (like the telephone one) might be acceptable, but I think, a kind of European ribbon cable (ex 0.5 mm pitch) with stranded wires would be even more flexible and yet robust enough for the application.
